DD fell in a big muddy puddle yesterday. Needless to say, her (brand new!!) pale green trousers are stained.

I rinsed them off immediately and soaked them in the pink vanish for an hour, followed by a 50deg wash with bio powder, but they are still stained!

Should I write them off or is there something else I can do to get the stain out? The vanish actually removed some of the dye, so I'm reluctant to use that again.

Thanks

Oh bugger, you cooked the stain. Never cook a stain. Cold treat it.

I think they may be buggered! Sorry.

You could try try laundry soap, that sometimes works. Was it clay mud in the puddle? That's a bugger to remove! I normally vac it out before treating (once it's dry it can brush off quite easily and then you don't have to faff with Vanish etc). Sometimes the rinse is the problem.

i wouldn't write them off just yet.
the rest of it may ytet come out, just keep them for "at home" days if they look really awful, but more of the stain might come out with more washing, and also hang them in sunlight

Thanks for that - I completely forgot about cold treating them!! I'll probably keep them as spares in the car now.

Many thanks
